In previous years all rounds are broadcast on ESPNU, ESPN2 and ESPN but they bounce around to different mats. If you want to be able to choose a mat to view you will need to download the ESPN app and may need a subscription to ESPN+ but I’m not 100% sure on that.

I think regular ESPN works, I don’t remember subscribing to plus and I still was able to get the mats with my cable info.
 
Sounds right. As long as you have ESPN on whatever Cable/Satellite/Steaming service you use then you can log in to the app and pick your mats.
First session is on Flo.
Second session is on ESPN+
Third session is on Rokfin.
Session Four is on Hulu
Session Five is on Paramount Plus
Session Six is on Disney Plus
Session Seven is PPV
 
FWIW--it was announced recently that there will not be mat-side commentary on their coverage (I'm assuming that means early rounds--would be surprised if they didn't have announcers for the Finals, and hopefully the Semis).

And nobody is allowed to say when any sessions start or give updates on who is wrestling where.

Does this include Fubo TV, or Hulu, or streaming services? If I have Hulu or Fubo can I simply log in with those credentials?

Hulu doesn't carry ESPN/ESPNU/ESPN2. You need Hulu+ Live TV for those channels. They have a seven day free trial, so for that weekend we are good to go. (I just checked and made a note for myself).

What NothingMeaningful said--but yes, you just log into ESPN w/ your Live TV streaming credentials (in my case, YoutubeTV since they figured out their beef w/ Disney).

Also heard that Kyle Dake is taking Billy Baldwins position but will not interview anyone except himself. I kid, I kid as I actually like Kyle Dake, who is an awesome wrestler.

@jmadden1998 At least you don't have to worry about whether there will be mat side commentary Saturday night.

I watch the early rounds on my work computer by just logging into ESPN online. Thank goodness I have 2 monitors.

We have Comcast/Xfinity service and the last few years I was able to get the preliminary rounds on my computer. I had to log into the NCAA Wrestling Tournament and then ESPN by providing My Comcast sign in and PW. Hopefully it stays the same and you can put multiple mats up at the same time. You can also go back and rewatch matches that you missed.

That's what I do as well. I got wrestling on one screen and work on another. Lucky my boss was a wrestling fan. I really only watched if PSU was on or saw an interesting matchup. Otherwise it was just background noise.

ESPN is not free. Cord cutters can tell you how much it costs to order the base package and then the other packages comcast sells to get ESPN included.

I cut the cord in Dec. Not going back. I will give Comcast as little $$ as I can and hope Verizon moves into my rural home so I do not need Comcast for anything.

I'll find some way to watch.

Anyway. get of my lawn etc etc.

ESPN is included with my basic YouTube TV package. I think my ESPN+ is 9.95 a month.
